If you spent one dollar every second, you would have spent a million dollars in 12 days. At that same rate, it would take you 32 years to spend a billion dollars. But it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend a trillion dollars. The U.S. National debt rises at an average of approximately $3.8 billion per day. The U.S. government has to borrow 43 cents of every dollar that it currently spends, four times the rate in 1980. Source: Jill Schlesinger/CBS MoneyWatch - Thu, Feb 16, 2012

Obama's top five failed promises.... 1. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care planperiodl (Reality: as many as 30% of employers will dump their plans.) 2. I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficitseither now or in the future. (Reality: budget gimmicks, sleights of hand, accounting tricks and implausible assumptions reveal a trillion $ budget buster.) 3. I will protect Medicare. (Reality: Obamacare ends Medicare as we know it & include severe reimbursement cuts and access to care.) 4. I will sign a universal health care bill into law by end of first term that will cover every American and cut costs for typical family to $2,500/year. (Reality: 12 ways it will INCREASE, including leaving young adults on plan to age 26 and higher than usual premiums.) 5. Under my plan, no family making less that $250K/yr. will see any tax increase. (Reality: tax increases amounting to $5008 in 10 years were discovered in Obamacare.)

REGULATIONS/actualIy"Overregulation": REGU1 Agencies like the FDA, EPA, OSHA and at least 50 others are called "regulatory" agencies because they are empowered to create and enforce rules (regulations) that carry the full force of a law. Agencies must publish all new proposed regulations in the Federal Register at least 30 days before they take effect & they must provide a way for interested parties to comment, offer amendments or to object to the regulation. Congress has a 60 in-session days to review and possibly reject new federal regulations issued by the regulatory agencies. In 1998, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the official listing of all regulations, contained a total of 134,723 pages that claimed 19 ft. of shelf space. In 1970, the CFR totaled only 54,834 pages! Article 1, Section 1, Clause 1 All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which consists of a Senate & House of Representatives. EPA was started by Richard Nixon, Executive Order 11514 - Protection & Enhancement of Environment Quality Article 1, Section 8, enumerated powers To exercise exclusive Legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding 10 miles away). .. and to exercise like Authority over all places purchased by the consent of the Legislature for Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dock Yards and other needful buildings; And to make all Laws which shall be necessary & proper .. . and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States or in any Department ofrOffice thereof.

**A full 78% of the soon-to-be-voted-on Farm Bill simply pays for FOOD STAMPS and nutrition programs. **Small business in the U.S. is literally being suffocated by red tape. "The land of the free"? The truth is that our lives & our businesses are tightly constrained by MILLIONS of rules & regulations. Today there is a "license" for just about every business activity. In fact, in certain areas you need a "degree" & multiple "licenses" before submitting an application for permission to start a business. In order to hire people, the paperwork nightmare gets even worse. Why would anyone still be willing to start a business in the U.S.? The truth is that the business environment in the U.S. is now so incredibly toxic that millions of Americans have simply given up & don't even try to work with the burdensome system anymore. **Example: A U.S. District Court judge slapped a $500 fine on a MA fisherman (R. Eldridge) for untangling a giant whale from his nets and setting it free. What was the crime? According to the court, he was supposed to call state authorities and wait for them to do it. **The FDA is projecting that the food service industry will spend an additional 14 million hours each year comply with new regulations mandating labeling all products sold with calorie counts. **If you attempt to give a tour of our nation's capitol without a license, you could be put in prison for 90 days.
^ JSERGY RECORD under the Obama Administration: If somebody wants to build a coal fired power plant, they can: it's just that it will bankrupt them. Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily sky rocket. President Obama. (Note: These promises have been kept despite the failure of Cap & Trade to pass in Congress.) Operators of coal fired power plants to shut down 175 units, or 8.5% of the Capacity of coal fired generators. Comparisons of drilling permits issued under previous administrations: **Bill Clinton - a 58& increase **George W. Bush - a 116% increase **President Obama - a 36% decrease Shut down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, but told Brazil we would be their best customer. (Brazil was granted a $2 billion loan guarantee by the International Monetary Fund for offshore drilling.) Gas prices when President Obama took office: $1.83/gal. Currently: over $4.00/gal.
Stopped Keystone XL Pipeline Project even though the plan had been approved by various regulatory agencies. Nuclear Regulatory Commission just issued a 1 year moratorium on renewal of licensing of existing nuclear power plants & approval of permits for new plants. Shut down the Yucca Mountain project which could have alleviated the concern about storage of nuclear wastes. Funneled billions of $$ in loan guarantees to "green energy" projects to selected companies (cronies), many of whom have gone bankrupt cost the taxpayers billions of $$ (i.e. Solyndra, Evergreen Solar, Inc.) Continuing to fund wind & solar projects which are not competitive economically with conventional sources of power WITHOUT government subsidies. The corresponding rise in utility rates forces consumers to pay for it in 2 ways: a) we pay higher rates for the energy we use; b) as taxpayers we are asked to subsidize the low income households who can no longer afford the high utility rates.
